Friday Face 4/10/26

Welcome To Friday Face OFF (FFO)
This is the place to show off your face art.
You know, ANY type of face, nature, the face of a flower, photography, drawings, paintings, AI. There just needs to be a face in your blog post, a link back to my blog and please use the image below. 
Thank you.


I want to thank everyone for all of the well wishes, prayers and healing energy. It has been a tough 7 weeks with lupus/sjogren's but I am pretty much back to what is my normal. A week in bed resting my body and mind helped a lot. Going out into my backyard with no wind and hot sunshine helped too. Although the sun is not good for me, I was covered with a big hat and sunscreen. Just being out in the warm was good medicine. Mr. M. waited on me hand and foot and wouldn't let me do anything except art in bed. LOL
 
The faces I did get done are these.
This first one has more body to it; I just didn't like it, so I cropped the photo.
 
The second one is one of my fake birds. 
I'm just having fun with these.
 
Not much from NightCafe but I do have these pretties I made awhile back.
 The faces of sea turtles.
 
Changed the wording a bit. 
 
Changed the models and got this. Seriously I did not plan this one.
 
I ended with this. 
 
Here are the features for this week. To remind you, I do use a number generator and I'm keeping track so everyone gets featured.
 
Roentar from 
Photos of everyday life. 
 
Heidrun from
Soul and Mind and so on...
Posts that are full and fun. 

 
The time is getting close
for FFO 
Portrait Challenge on April 24.
Create an image with 
one or all of these expressions.
Happy, Sad, Tired, Surprised and or Anger.

 
Also, join in with SITAR. Anything art.
 
That's it for me. 
Now show me your face
Nicole

  7. Glad you are feeling much improved Nicole. I'm not a great patient as I want to be better right away and it's hard to relax for so many days, but lucky you to have such a good husband to take care of you.It is amazing how a day (in in your case many days) to relax and do what you want and get some fresh air makes a big difference. Have a wonderful next few days and hope everything just gets better and better. hugs-Erika

  16. Hugs to Mr. M for taking such good care of you. I am so sorry you have to suffer with Lupus. It is a cruel disease. But your attitude pulls you through it each time ... you are a hero in my eyes. I love your birds ... of course I love all birds so naturally I would love your birds. They are colorful and uplifting. Your faces are always wonderful. You have mastered the eyes ... a part of the face I always struggle with. I hope you are feeling better and your Lupus is in remission. Stay well, my friend ...

  19. Happy Friday, Nicole! I'm really glad to hear you are pretty much back to normal. And kudos to Mr M for taking good care of you. I can't handle a lot of time in bed. I sit at my counter or in our big chair. 😂 Love your turtles. They make me think of Turtle Canyon off Fort DeRussy Beach in Waikiki where turtles come to get cleaned by fish. I just learned about it this year. 😱 I want to snorkel there next year. Love your two faces! Enjoy your weekend, my friend! 🌺❤️🌺

  23. Your "fake bird" is so beautiful. I love the pictures.
    I'm glad that you are feeling better. Thanks for asking about my daughter. My daughter has been back to the ER once, for the pain. They gave her a referral for pain management but they said she has to go to the office and see the doctor every 7 days in order to get another 7 days of pain pills. Crazy. She's been seeing new doctors and they're worried about her heart. Lupus is really f*cking with her right now. She's got fluid around her heart. But at least the pneumonia and sepsis has cleared up.

  24. Relief from your symptoms is good news! I like your sea turtles. I think I’ve mentioned that we often saw them at one particular location in Hawaii where they would hang out in shallow water and completely ignore the snorkelers. They were huge. I’m probably repeating myself but the most surprising thing was a turtle that came up to me when I was standing in shallow water, and he stepped on my flipper with his flipper.

  25. So pleased to read that you are pretty much back to what is your normal.
    Well done to Mr. M. for waiting on you hand and foot.

    I enjoyed your drawings and also the Night Café art.
    Take care and I wish you a happy weekend ahead.

    All the best Jan

  28. Pleased to read you are near yourself healthwise. You have a good husband there but I guess you know that. I just love your parrot; you did very well with it. Pretties are also good too.

  30. That's nice to know your husband is so good to you. Your portrait is wonderful and your fake bird is so cheery. I just the colors! Although, I place on Monday a revamped pinup girl in my 4M post, I don't think I'll link up because I'm just not able to keep up with things. Maybe in the coming weeks, after I feel more confident with my blog repairs then I can resume the fun again. :) Have a lovely weekend. You're ever in my prayers, darlin' Nicole! xo
